Create a reference list
List the works cited, with corresponding numbers, on a new page after the text, titled References. Although the sample list below is not arranged alphabetically, you should arrange your reference list in alphabetical order.
Check James D. Lester, Writing Research Papers, 5th ed., pp. 231-237 (available in the Writing Center) or the documentation manual for your field for arrangement and numbering of the list and for style and order of elements within each entry.
Use the table below for guidelines on how to format the entries in a numbered reference list.
